journey to product design

In the not-so-small city of Mumbai, India, there lived a quiet child with a love for both art and technology - me. One day, I ventured beyond my comfort zone and into a foreign land to partake in a space project challenge at NASA's JFK Center. Little did I know, this experience would become my first foray into Product Design!

Experience.

Today, I have worked on complex challenges in Food, B2B, eCommerce, Sustainability, and Education spaces that have improved my understanding of the design process and developed my own creative toolkit.

Education.

Along the way, I dabbled in various fields like computer science, business management, and social sciences.

 

My diverse skillset helps me create meaningful and ethical experiences. I even mastered the skills of adaptability, associative thinking, and problem-solving. 

I love nerding out about the future of Experiences and Interfaces. When not designing, you can find me at an asian restaurant, reading memoirs, or traveling for inspiration.
